The new tipper will join a mixed fleet of trucks, excavators and mini diggers at the West Dorset-based firm and will be used to transport aggregates from quarries in Devon, Dorset and Somerset as well as waste material from sites in the same areas, according to Schmitz Cargobull,

“When it came to expanding our fleet, after looking at our trailers, Schmitz Cargobull was the only brand we considered,” said Hansford Contruction Contracts Manager, James Hansford.

“The total cost of ownership represents real value for money and the product quality is outstanding so we know we will be able to keep it running for a long time.
